Ferrio's Sims 2 impressions + First day of play diary.

So finally got Sims 2, gave it a whirl and so far it's fun but who knows how long that'll last. So far I haven't done much besides trying to woo some woman, and making sure the house doesn't fall to pieces, so I guess I shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Anyways, here's my experience of my first day of play.



I first decided that I wanted to make a Sim that looked like my and shared the same traits, and see how his life would turn out. Even though the character creation is quite nifty, I was only able to pick from two body types (thin, and beer belly), so I decided to pick the beer belly.

An example of how weird you can get with the character creation:

But that isn't quite right, so I settled with this (though I did change the hair)

Eventually I got this goofy bastard, so what do you think?

Ya, it doesn't look like me but oh well. I might of been able to get a bit closer if I had looked at different head selections. Oh well.


So now that my sim was created, I had to move him in. With only 20k to spend I bought me a lot and moved in.

Then the house was built. Unfortunately I ran out of money, which meant I missed many nessessities, like a tv, couch, table, roof..... carpet. But I figured I'd get that done (fat chance)

As soon as my sim saw his house he knew what the hell he had to do.

Then the neighbors thought they'd come over and visit me, and that's when Trista and my sim first met.

And many games of "slaps" was played, and she always won.

While one night of talking to her on the couch, she got up to use the bathroom. My sim decided it was time to go to bed for some reason, and when she came out she decided that it wasn't worth putting up with him.

Many more meetings happened (my sim rapidly aging), so I had to hurry this up. Eventually it got to the aggressive step.

Next thing you know THIS WEIRD SHIT IS HAPPENING

After many nights of romance my sim proposed, and it was happy days.

For a long time after that the two sims lived together. Trista when she moved in turned out to make a shit load more money (5x) so it was a nice addition, until she got fired for like sporks (really, she's a chef...was a chef).

But then it happened, my sim tired of living together decided to bring it to the next level and actually get married. That didn't work out too well....

Next thing I know both sims are freaking out and have dellusions. My Sim saw an imaginary psychologist that tried to get him to stop blubbering. Even afterwards he would constantly break out in tears whenever he saw Trista. Trista herself saw a big bunny rabbit that she would talk to.

After it was said and done, my sim didn't like Trista one bit.... but she still loved my sim... what's with that. Anyways after lots more talking, hugging, kissing, loving..... all was repaired and marriage finally happened!

As of now both sims are in crappy jobs, but still in their youth (youth elixer saves the day), and hopefully they can actually start raising a family ....after I deal with that "No roof" buisness.
 
I'm having a shit time with the game.

Bug after bug after bug...it was fun to watch the entire family of 4 (2 people died) run in a circle after the delivery girl some times standing face to face and NOT taking the grocereies....this went on for a while.

The "Cannot delete item in use eventhough everyone is alseep and no one touched it in weeks" bug comes back.

I just had to quit cause I got stuck in a stroe cause one of the sims REFUSED to get in the cab. I even filled the queue with "Get int he Fucking taxi you bitch" commands and all she did as bitch she was tired and did move...looked at clothes but didn't move.

did they beta test this game at all?
 
The house you built initially was too big. That's why you ran outta money and that's why your life became unstuck! I think the first few games I play definetly will have to focus on getting mucho money so I can build a nice big house. Boring, but dammit, I like building :p
